Busy but Blessed...

I just can't believe that it has been so long since I blogged. Time has really flown for me the last week or so. Our big news this week is that Evan got glasses. This was major for me. I really struggled with it for some reason. I was the same way when Blake got his glasses (also in kindergarten). I think I just hate that they have to have the responsibility for one, and the "stigma" for another. Kids can just be SO cruel and I would just die if anyone made fun of either of them. With that said, Evan was THRILLED to be getting glasses. In our family, where everyone is practically blind, glasses are the norm. He picked his frames out all himself. He knew exactly how he wanted them to look ("just like Dad's"). So, here he is on the first day he wore his new glasses.
I think in a previous post I have mentioned how much Evan LOVES Under Armour. Well, here he is at LaFiesta the day of his birthday with his NEW Under Armour shirt on OVER his regular shirt. Seriously, this was his favorite birthday present, by far. He also go a navy one, and we have alternated every day with one or the other. He even wears them to bed!!!

This was the night of Evan's birthday when we went to Chuck E Cheese. They had a BLAST!! The movie and sleep over were SO fun also!

This is a picture at Evan's family party. This was the FUNNIEST present ever from Kyle and Amy. It's a book called "Walter the Farting Dog" and a stuffed "Walter" that, you guessed it, farts when you squeeze him. Evan has made Walter his own little bed next to his, all tucked in with a washcloth for a blanket.

This was the greatest present ever (after the Under Armour). It's a new bike from Nonnie and Poppy. Evan had outgrown his old bike and this one is just his size. He also got a full face helmet to wear with it. He has worn the helmet ever time, so far. If you live in our neighborhood, I'm sure you've seen him. It's pretty hard to miss a 6 year old on a stunt bike wearing a full face helmet :).

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm pooped from all the Christmas decorating going on in my house right now. Our neighborhood Christmas Open House is next Sunday and I'm trying really hard to get ready. I'm so out of my element when it comes to decorating. I'm thinking our house is feeling pretty cozy, and I guess that's all that matters...

Chances are I won't get around to blogging tomorrow, so Happy Thanksgiving to all my loyal readers :)!!!! I feel absolutely blessed beyond measure, and have SO much to be thankful for. Here is a picture of the cutest Pilgram and Indian you ever saw!!!
